    Oh arse. One of these days when I should've staid in bed...

    Tried to get the Pan out of the garage, my back when 'crrk' for no
    appearant reason, I thought 'Oh boogger', lost my balance and dropped
    it. So far so good, the Morini was there to break the fall (arse) and
    now the Pan's wedged itself in the Morini. Double arse.

    Trouble is, due to the wedginess of the Pan I can't just lift it up a
    again, 'cos it's still got the Morini attached to it. Nice. Fortunately
    I managed to get the Husky out so at least I didn't have to suffer the
    indignity of having to take the tube.

    Any UKRMers up to helping me sort out this mess, beers provided,
    alternatively curries at my local place?

    BTDT with a K100RS against the garage door frame.
    Managed to get it back up with a heave which could have gone either way
    (upright or A&E).

    Roughly what area? (I'm Dorset)

    Should have done a get messages before I replied, I spose.

  5. What exactly is it you need help with? Yeah, yeah, I know you you need
    help lifting it to vertical, but is that it? I'm not exactly Arnold
    Schwarzenegger myself, but I'll happily come round to laugh and take the
    piss :)

    By happy coincidence, I'm just a stones throw from you in Willesden /
    Cricklewood.

    North London (North Finchley area) - ideally I'd need two or three
    people as one needs to unwedge the Morini from the Pan while the other
    one or two (better two) pull the Pan upright.

    Well, a mentioned in my reply to DNC, it's a case of one or two people
    pulling the Pan vertical while another person unwedges the Morini from
    the Pan's handlebars.
    Useful, that...

    Ta, but unfortunately the firewall at work blocks my access to gmail.

  11. The taking the piss part was because I couldn't imagine lifting that lot
    by myself, either. I'd be glad to help.
    Indeed. Ten minutes away, I reckon.

  12. It was an off-list offer of help.

    Bung an address my way and I'll be there for when you finish work or
    whatever time suits.

    You're welcome to pop round any time and I'll have a telly after this
    weekend as well!

    Send an email and I'll give you my number.

    Either the traffic's very bad there, or you've got a bloody good
    throwing arm.

  15. Put it this way. Cricklewood Broadway at 10pm on a Sunday night is
    busier than Manchester in the rush hour.

  16. It was slightly tongue in cheek. Have you *heard* my bike lately?

    I could, though the only free time I have in the near future is
    Saturday afternoon - any use to you?

    I really like it when my back makes a 'crrk' noise - it usually feels much
    looser after that.

    Obviously my value of 'crrk' may be totally different to yours :)
